Meanwhile, Back At The Other End Of the Workbench...

 In between work on the various sections of the Artemis build, I have a few other small projects in progress at the far end of the workbench.

First, I managed to cut and seam-fill a section of BT-55 body tube to replace the damaged one on the Estes Solo model that lawn-darted on its last flight. The tube also got fitted with a set of launch lugs.

Yesterday, I took advantage of some very nice weather outdoors, so the tube received a coat of primer.

While I was at it, I shot some primer on the two open-gap booster stages I had finished assembling last fall.


Over the next couple of days, these items will get sanded, painted, and made entirely flight ready.

Cheers!
